TODAY’S TOP STORIES

💸 Trump Promises $2K Stimulus Checks, Sparking Bitcoin Boom Talk

President Trump announced Sunday that most Americans will receive at least $2000 from tariff revenues, sparking Bitcoin rally speculation reminiscent of Covid-era stimulus checks that fueled the 2021 crypto boom. With tariffs generating only $195B this year but the proposed program potentially costing $300-500B, economists however warn the math doesn't add up. Critics call it political theater amid inflation concerns, and Polymarket traders are betting against the proposal becoming reality in 2025. Forbes

🎯 Strategy Doubles Down on Bitcoin Funding w/ Preferred Stock Raise

Strategy raised $715M through its new STRE preferred stock, doubling its initial target and extending its bitcoin accumulation toolkit, showing there is still strong investor appetite for high-yield exposure to the firm’s bitcoin-linked capital structure. The 10% yielding perpetual preferred shares give the company flexibility during tight funding periods while rewarding investors for deferral risk. Despite a recent slowdown in bitcoin purchases due to compressed market premiums, Strategy maintains 640,808 BTC and remains on track for its 30% bitcoin yield target. The Block

💰 Tether Buys the Dip With $97M Bitcoin Purchase

Tether scooped up 961 BTC worth $97M during the recent market downturn, following its policy of allocating 15% of net profits to Bitcoin. The stablecoin giant now holds 87,296 BTC valued at $8.84B, sitting on $4.55B in unrealized gains. While some analysts see this as portfolio rebalancing, others view it as conviction buying during market stress, signaling confidence in Bitcoin's long-term fundamentals. Decrypt
